why the fake boobs? why boobs at all? yes i know sex sells, and most of your readers are probably sexually frustrated straight blokes who'll lap it up, but for some of us it comes off as a little bit teenage.
perhaps a future cover could feature a shot of a sexy kitesurfing lass (and there are plenty of them) actually doing something more interesting than standing around pneumatically, something like kitesurfing ...
here you go maybe his cover is more up your alley so to speak!!!
For me I love the chicks in the mag it gives it a refreshing angle - besides every surf mag i get has a chicks section
chadster
just another angle to try reduce kiteboardings ghey image.. im not complaining haha id rather look at her than 50 raileys and 20 uncommitted hooked in crail taps ![]()
why the fake boobs?
Totally agree, Much more of a natural Fan.
Speak for yourself homo. What do you want a slow clap? Tits are great. Even chicks dig em.
well, some defensive reactions, and as that's often a sign of deep repression, i'll try to put this sensitively:
just cos i'm not into plastic airbrushed bimbos doesn't mean i'm into blokes. i like my women real, and i don't need magazines to give me a sense being in the company of attractive women. i prefer to just hang out with them.
clearly i'm in a ridiculously small minority here, so i'll shut up and let you all get back to ogling those fakies.
bon appetit,

Agree with djdojo.. a Kite mag should be about kites. Surely we all get enough boobs on the internet? Or are you people doing it wrong?
We need more kite reviews, and ads i reckon. What about all the important stuff, all those questions I need answered for me every day, such as;
How much more wind can i hold a cabrinha crossbow 12m in compared to the 12m best waroo? and what happens if I decrease the lines by .8 of a meter, or if i stick my d!ck in the deflate valve.....
Mags should be about sick photo's and sequences of mad tricks at unreal locations... Not about teching out for 100 pages.

<<< i like yours when you gona whip em out

that is gold - we would run it but i think Slingshot might not like image being associated with their brand
where do you get that
Djdojo, I agree. I believe it is fake when you expect a boob swimsuit section coz of the chick on the front, then there is one measly picture in the mag. So fake.
But Djbubee , dont cry, be strong. Im sure they will eventually do the swimsuit section.
Just hope , pray and remember with your mind Djbobo you can move mountains!!![]()
For the love of "insert your preferred deity",
The cover needs kick ass kiters - not posers ala boob chick.
Yes I am female - yes I kite - yes I pay money for magazines, and would like to think that I am not the only female reader that finds these images to be bad taste - if we want titties mags we can just go look in the single guys beat up wagon at the beach.
I also have subscription to overseas magazines and appreciate the professionalism and without the need to have a stand up lay me down chick who couldn't find a donkey dick unless it was attached to another teenagers ass!
Rant over - poor taste cover.
It was a bit of humour, I was saying you would want them to rack off like you want the chick on the mag to rack off.
As i said it's part of the scene/ vibe, the beach where we do this sport has other things happening as well as kiting... beautiful women often hang out there in bikinis.. and it just so happens that men (some women to) like to see them.
The Magazine is about kiteboarding and the culture surrounding it... It doesn't have to focus 100% on kites.
Well maybe if you get the chick in bikini to be nailing a nice jump (no pun intended....) rather than posing.
